THE editor of the Stats Zeitung, the lead
ing German paper of New York and of this
country, does not regard the result of the late
election in New York as making that State
certainly Democratic next year. He says the
German vote, which went with the Democracy
this year almost solid on the temperance
question. will not do so in a presidential cleo
ton The German Republicans will support
a Republican candidate, and comparatively
few of the German mugwumps, the editor
thinks, would vote for Cleveland again. On
the whole, he regards New York as 'tan ex-
tremely doubtful State" The editor is a
German mugwump, and has favored the
denomination of Cleveland, though he finds it
hard to swallow the Presidents letter indors-
ing Fellows. of which he says: II know the
inside history of that letter, and must confess
that it has somewhat cooled down the ardor
with which had supported Mr. Cleveland's

EVERY man who has ever had chance at
the postal laws of the United States has tried
his hand at tinkering them, ard those who
have authority to revise make new rules
devote themselves to studying out new inter
pretations for those already existing. As
consequence, the laws have become complex,
contradictory and capable of a variety of con-
structions. In enforcing them, heretofore,
the rule has been in case of doubt to place the
most common-sense Interpretation upon any
given regulation. Whether the present heads
of the postal department lack in common
sense, or whether orders have been issued for
the most literal observance of the rules is not
a matter of public record, but the fact remains
that under the present administration any
regulation which can be so construed that the
public is put to inconvenience by its operation
is strictly adhered to. The latest instance of
this character is the enforcement of the rule
that no business cards or advertisements save
the mere name of the sender shall be printed
on the wrappers of third class mail mat
ter. Book publishers and others who send
large quantities of such mail are put to great
Inconvenience and expense by the loss of
printed wrappers which they have been in the
habit Of using The Inconsistency of the rule
is shown by the fact that on first class mail no
limit is placed upon the amount of printing
used, room barely sufficient for the address
being all that is left on many envelopes. If
no orkv AZ for
rigid construction of the law, it should be re-
peal ed without delay when Congress meets.
It would also be well if the entire series of
postal regulations could be revised and simpli-
fed until no doubt remained of their exact
meaning. The revision should be made,
however, upon the theory that the postal
service is intended for the benefit and con-
venience of the country and not of the Post
Office Department

ELSEWHERE the Journal prints letter from
the chaplain of the British legation in Stock
holm respecting the recent charges made
against Minister Magee by a scoundrel dis
charged from his service for cause. The
charges were printed in the New York
atrocious character. To all who knew Mr..
Magee no refutation or denial of the stories
was needed, but there was something fiendish
in the publication of such libels upon gen.
tleman away from home, and under circum-
stances that entitled him to the sympathy and
consideration of every decent person. Only q
few papers, and those conducted upon the
vicious principle that all is fair game if the
victim be political opponent, have copied
the Worlds story, and to such we commend
the letter of Rev. Mr.. Case referred to. It
shows the utter falsity of the ibels and is an
attestation of the. deserved respect in which
Mr.. Magee is held by his diplomatic col
leagues at the Swedish court The Journal
is glad to repeat what it said at the time, that
the appointm emit of Mr.. Magee was one of the
distinctively good and commendable acts of
this administration. An intimate acquaintance
of nearly a quarter of century with Mr..
Magee warrants the Journal in indorsing him
in blank, as gentleman, and represent ative
of his country that no American will have
cause to be ashamed of in any capacity or in

To the Editor of the New York World
In reference to some charges made against tine
American minister at Stockholm. Mr.. Magee. in
q letter to the World purported to have been
written by a Mr.. Thelander in connection with
certain Mr.. Clifford. have satisfied myself that
said charges are utterly false, and beg leave to
state that have inquired, and from the different
parties referred to in your paper. have ascer-
tanned the following:
First-That on his arrival at Stockholm Mr..
Magee was received by King Oscar ii, In the
usual manner and according to custom; the
roval carriages for such purposes conveyed Mr..
Magee to and from the palace to the hotel on the
occasion No irreeularity on the part of Mr..
Magee either in dress or in etiquette, took place
as stated il the charges.
Second-That Mr. Magee lives IN style appro-
pirate and fully corresponding with his position
as ambassador; his apartments are located in
of our finest buildings, No. Il Strandvagen,
in the best locality of the city.
Third-That Mr.. Maeee is as well seen and
highly respected as any other ambassador Of
minister resident at the court
Fourth-That he entertains and is enter
tanned by members of his colleagues, the other
foreign representatives.
NFifth-That be is widower; his two daugh-
te.,s are being educated in Germany. and that
once in while he visits Thorn few days
timex
Sixsh-That he is a worthy representative Of
the United States. a gentleman of means. tact
and experience.
You can imagine how utterly baseless and
malicious the charge must be, that Mr.. Magee
should act as guide to Americans in order to OBJ
tain commi lesion from shoD-keepers. when you
consider that Stockholm offers nothing for an
American TO buy with the exception of few
photographs OF the city and, perhaps, few
curosities of Ii stle or value There is much
to be seen, but absolutely nothing for the Amer
lean to buy. SILKS, confectou and di almonds
they buy as ever, in Paris, lace in Bruxelles
and .urs in London.
The custom among our tradesmen at Stock
holm is that they. as a general rule cash their
bills but once a year, and this very likely
counts for the fact If the cobbler had bill
against the minister for repair of pair of shoes
at the time the charges were made.
Mr.. MaRee feels very much hurt that you
should publish such charges without an investi-
CATION, and many Swedish gentlemen with whom
/ have spoken of the matter consider it an out
rage which you never do too much to repair.

a Vermont Girl Found Chloroformcd IN IA
Pasture.

An alleged attempt at rape which may
possibly result fatally at Upper Falls, a
small hamlet eight miles from Springfield,
has just come light. Wednesday evening
Miss Annie Glynn, ID, went for the cows
and not returning, her father went in
search of her. She was found chloroform-
ed in spring of water covered with mud
and leaves. The physicians worked three
hours to restore her to consciousness.
Henry SandersOn, who has been in Jail
several times for rape, was arrested for
the crime. The girl is in very critical
condition. Justice Spoliord discharged
the prisoner Saturday night, holding that
there was not sufficient evidence to war
rant his being held for the district court
The defence was an alibi. Friends Of
Sanderson claim that it is a scheme to
drive him from town, that the girl was
dragged by her friends, who overdid ii
and nearly killed her The girls reputa
ton is not of the best
